things I find amusing

My neighborhood grocery store stocks its "low-carb" options in the bread aisle.

ben folds is my new boyfriend

He's smart and talented, he makes me laugh, he sings to me, and his diminutive stature makes him easily transportable in a duffel bag or overhead compartment. He also puts on a damn fine show, and thus he rocked the cornfield quite mightily last night. Elvis is still the King, but from here on out, I've got a soft spot in my heart for Ben. But don't worry, I'll always love you best.

patience

My darling, in time you will be mine. Oh yes, yes you will.

Meanwhile, I have this.

Me, I've been yours all along.

he shoulda been a farmer

Gosh, it seems like days since we had a birthday greeting on Tallulahville. So it's time for another one! This one's for Eric, one of my favoritest boys in the history of ever. Thinking about Eric always makes me smile, because he's just so...Eric! He's just good people, people, and we've had many a good time together over the years, with minimal police involvement. Here's to many more, and a very happy birthday, Eric!

if at first you don't succeed, fail, fail again

Last night I relearned an important lesson. Going out drinking alone:

1. Still doesn't make me feel any better.
2. Still doesn't solve anything.
3. Still smacks vaguely of the pathetic, no matter what, no matter where.

Good to know. Feh.

caught up in the wilderness of my ever-changing moods

I think I'm having a love hangover or some other such sillyness today because I went to bed thinking intoxicatingly happy thoughts and woke up with the sort of throbbing headache and lurching nausea that usually follows a night of heavy drinking. Hello, head? Do I really need to be punished for being optimistic, when Life usually does that for me in some other, more insidiously heartbreaking way? Methinks not.

But enough about misery, let's talk about money and music instead. I think I've talked myself into buying an iPod. I own over 350 CDs and am weary of lugging a varied portion of them around with me, yet never seemingly any of the ones I want to be listening to at any given moment. I am a woman of mobility with many madcap musical moods (and a fondness for alliteration), you know. I do worry that having this kind of instant gratification might eventually fill me with a certain bloated boredom, but do I really need to be denied such fulfillment when Life usually does that for me in some other, more insidiously heartbreaking way? Methinks not.

For now, I'd like to comment on comments. Currently, I'm getting more comments from my good friends Penis Enlargement and Free Porn here than I am from my real good friends or even strangers who may, in fact, be interested in both Penis Enlargement and Free Porn, but prefer to take a more hands-on, personal approach. At first I thought it was all John Cusack's fault since he was getting repeated hits but now I see the problem is bigger than just him. Tried to install MT-Blacklist but it ain't workin'. So, for all of you who've ever bemoaned the lack of porn on Tallulahville (what, are my words not titillating enough for you, you wanton whores?), maybe you'll find some lurking in the archived depths. You never know what could be lurking in the archives.

And finally....yet another birthday shoutout, this one for my dear friend April, who is just as April-fresh as her name implies and many other delightful happy Springtime sunshiney things as well. Wish her a happy one or I'll Spring Forward and kick you in the head, yo. Then, you, too, can feel my pain.

how soon is ever?

I could drown in a quicksand
of what ifs and maybes
with nothing tangible to grab hold
my courageous convictions
threatening to go under
without a hand to grab hold
gasping at the surface
looking, waiting
trying to be still
arms wanting to be flailing
can't tread, can't move
just hope for saving

nobody's fool

It's time again for another birthday greeting on Tallulahville. This one goes out to the newest member of my posse, Jessica. Like everyone I call friend, this girl impresses the hell out of me, and I'm delighted to have inducted her into my inner circle. She's sweet, smart, funny, vivacious, and very deep, and has an emotional candor that I find quite refreshing. Just remember: her first name ain't Jessie, it's Jess -- Ms. Jessica if you're nasty. Give her a little birthday love, won't you?
